Turbo Advice. General Thoughts.

Hi all,

I have been all around the search function and have spoken at length to peeps about my tubo options but i thought i would just post here and see if anything diffeent comes up. Plus it gives people stuff to read ;)

I am ready (Almost) to get my smokey standard turbo off and upgrade.

My Engine spec is as follows;

C1J
Rejetted carb ( Was running a T25 @ 18psi before I bought it but im able to check AFR so thats not too much of an issue.
Uprated Head Gasket.
Ported and Polished Head.
K Tec Bread Bin Intecooler.
Piper 285 Cam with Springs.
Full 2.5" system.

Now I love the response of the Standard turbo but I do know that the cam is not really being utilised enough so want to go bigger. I dont have a big budget so something from another car would be great. Also does anyone have any experience of the Cheap turbos off the Bay.

If i was to go for a FULL T25 what mods would I need for my downpipe? Would it be too laggy? Are there any Turbo's that would go straight onto my system. Do I only need to change the downpipe if it was standard as its not. Also are uprated actuators worth getting and what one would I need.
If i was to go for half T2 half T25 can I get near 200BHP.

Any links to Turbos that I would want would be great. Id love 200BHP. Reliably tho. As much as poss!!

Thanks all. Look foward to reading all the Options. :smokin::coffee:

Hong Kong phooey turbo mate you take your chances only worth a go if you could afford for it to all go Pete Tong and loose your cash if it goes wrong.

I'd say the tomcat T25 you've got kicking about would be a good unit for your spec. get it down to Adam at TD for him to check it over.

What sort of money would a refurb be on that unit then mate. Is the one I have a full T25. ?

Yep it's a full T25 and is good for up to 200bhp. not sure the price best to visit or call Adam at Turbo developments ;)
